Las milicias de segunda línea en la retaguardia franquista. El caso de Galicia

This article explores the role played by the militias of volunteers in the Galician rearguard during the civil war. We emphasize, initially, the proliferation of these militias and we analyze their functions and their analogies and differences with the traditional civic unions born to fight against the revolutionary threat. Next, we investigate the sociological composition of its members, their involvement in repression and denunciation, and its usefulness for the generation of compulsive loyalties. Finally, we affirmed their utilization by supporters of the Republic to try to remain safe from the violence
